AXIS Q1941-E PT Mount 7 mm 8.3 fps 384x288 Outdoor Thermal Camera for Pan-Tilt Motors

The AXIS Q1941-E PT Mount 7 mm 8.3 fps is the pan-tilt-mount version of the AXIS Q1941-E outdoor thermal bullet camera, with a 384x288 uncooled microbolometer, thermal sensitivity below 70 mK and a 7 mm lens with a 55° horizontal field of view. It is built to sit on a pan/tilt motor, with RS485/RS422 pan/tilt control, preset positions and guard tours, so one thermal camera can cover several zones. It detects people and vehicles by heat in total darkness, streams at up to 8.3 fps with Axis Zipstream for H.264, and runs AXIS Motion Guard, Fence Guard and Loitering Guard. The IP66 and NEMA 4X-rated aluminum casing operates from -40 °C to 60 °C, for perimeters, fence lines and total darkness.

Detection in Total Darkness

A thermal camera sees heat, not light, so it needs no illumination and is not blinded by headlights, shadows or low sun. The uncooled microbolometer covers the 8–14 µm spectral range with a sensitivity (NETD) below 70 mK, and multiple palettes help operators read the scene. Thermal images do not identify people, which helps where privacy is a concern.

7 mm Lens Coverage

The 7 mm athermalized lens (F1.18) gives a 55° horizontal field of view with a near focus distance of 1.3 m (4.3 ft): the widest view in the family, suited to yards, building sides and areas close to the camera. The AXIS Q1941-E PT Mount was offered with 7, 13, 19, 35 and 60 mm lenses, each in 8.3 fps and 30 fps versions.

Pan-Tilt Mounting

The PT Mount version is made to be mounted on a pan/tilt motor to increase installation flexibility. An RS485/RS422 connector handles pan/tilt control, and the camera supports preset positions, guard tours, driver selection and a control queue. PTZ presets can be used as event triggers and actions, and the AXIS T8310 Control Board is listed as an optional accessory.

Built-In Analytics

AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, AXIS Video Motion Detection and shock detection are included, and AXIS Perimeter Defender is supported. Events can be triggered by analytics, temperature, external inputs, schedules, edge storage events and PTZ presets, and can upload files, send email, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP or SNMP notifications, record to edge storage, or move the camera to a PTZ preset or guard tour.

Network Security and Integration

Password protection, IP address filtering, HTTPS encryption, IEEE 802.1x (EAP-TLS) network access control, centralized certificate management, brute force delay protection and signed firmware are built in. ONVIF Profile G and S and the VAPIX open API support AXIS Camera Station, AXIS Companion and partner VMS software.

Built for Harsh Sites

The aluminum casing has an integrated dehumidifying membrane and a germanium window, with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings and de-icing capability per MIL-STD-810F Method 521.3. It accepts PoE Class 3, 8–28 V DC or 20–24 V AC power through a terminal block, and records to microSD cards or network-attached storage.

Typical Applications

• Perimeters and fence lines
• Large areas patrolled by pan-tilt guard tours
